  1. Intubation and Sedation

    msn10 replied to shannonFNP's topic in Emergency

    We have anesthesia carts in the ER. Our anesthesiologists set them up and the CRNA's respond to a great deal of codes because the hospital viewed them as the experts with regards to intubation. We...

  2. Intubation and Sedation

    msn10 replied to shannonFNP's topic in Emergency

    First I want to apologize for not re-reading my post. I am really jet lagged and I shouldn't of posted when I did. I originally wanted to say 2-3 minutes but I know many sources site 3-10. The truth...

  3. ACLS and Advanced Airways

    msn10 replied to mskate's topic in General Nursing

    Um, No. The intubation/airways and defib instruction is kind of the point, otherwise it would just be BLS. Did you see her card from the class? This sounds like just another scheme. Hopefully she...

  4. Is it the same???

    msn10 replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    What is your undergraduate in? I would think you would be more marketable if you did a fast-track BSN. The most marketable jobs and those that progress the farthest are a MSN/MBA. We have 3 MSN/MBA...

  5. Intubation and Sedation

    msn10 replied to shannonFNP's topic in Emergency

    Vecuronium is a neuro-muscular blocking agent with two important characteristics. At an intubating dosage it provides very predictable conditions in about 45 seconds, in order to intubate the patient....

  6. Real Stories of the ER

    msn10 replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    I also like "One Born Every Minute" because it is mostly about the interaction between nursing and the patient. I have only seen a couple of shows but it is so much better than the "Grey's Anatomy"...

  7. Nurse's aides are running the the floor.

    msn10 replied to sprout2010's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    YES. Getting back to the original complaint, the CNA's running the floor. The interesting thing is that CNA's are not allowed to do anything without RN supervision. The RN delegates and the CNA is...

  8. Why do some Medstudents love to belittle nurses?

    msn10 replied to LPNweezy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. Why do some Medstudents love to belittle nurses?

    msn10 replied to LPNweezy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dear Heron, I think you misunderstood my post. I did not tell her to report it, I told her to question the Center for Nurse Advocacy reps for sound advice. When in doubt, go to the experts. If...

  10. Why do some Medstudents love to belittle nurses?

    msn10 replied to LPNweezy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LPNweezy, I did forget to mention that the Center for Nursing Advocacy's website is down, but the representative's names on the site will still respond by email if you contact

  11. Why do some Medstudents love to belittle nurses?

    msn10 replied to LPNweezy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't want to stir the pot here, but I want to stick up for LPNweezy and tell her I support whatever she decides to do. Something similar happened a few years ago at a med school in Canada. I WARN...

  12. Time to call a duck a duck?

    msn10 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    eriksoln You have just described every MSN, Nurse administrator, nurse educators, and a host load of other nurses you have been scoffing at on many of your posts. Would you suggest we call you a...

  14. CRNA Threat

    msn10 replied to samirish's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Samirish It is unfortunate, but it is another case of class warfare in healthcare. RN's won't do bed baths because it is the CNA's job. CRNA's and PA's won't help lift or toilet because it is the RN's...

  15. DNP the new PhD

    msn10 replied to enoRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree with elkpark but I will add just one additional thought. According to new guidelines that the NLN is considering, a PhD will still be the terminal degree. DNP might be a doctorate in nursing...

  16. Relationships with Doctors

    msn10 replied to G in Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of people meet their spouses at work. Unlike some of the comments on this thread, I have been happily married for 15 years to a doc I met at work when he was in residency. In fact, 5 out of the...

  17. Help Me Write My Ethics Paper =) By Giving Me Stories About Your Ethical Conflicts!!

    msn10 replied to crshield's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ethical dilemma Do a nursing student's homework on allnurses.com or suggest she go and do the interview the way her instructor asked her to. I am an instructor and if I made out an assignment to...

  18. Veteran nurses give your opinion of the new grad job situation

    msn10 replied to RachH's topic in General Nursing

    Will working in a hospital make you feel like you are a "real nurse?" I get a little upset when I hear people say that RN's in nursing homes, LTC, and school nursing is not real nursing. Taking care...

  19. Nursing School

    msn10 replied to Marie3045's topic in General Students

    Don't loose hope because you are quite. You sound like you would be a fabulous hospice nurse or another specialty were patience, reflective thinking, and a soothing personality is key for patient...

  20. Investigator wants to ask me about a patient death from this year... what do I do?

    msn10 replied to TxAnon's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  21. Nurses unemployed what is happening out there???

    msn10 replied to danursern's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it is geographical. 2 new hospitals just opened up where I live in Wisconsin and they are hiring. You said you have only been a nurse for 15 years. If you look at the trends, the cycle is...

  22. Nursing after pre-med coursework?

    msn10 replied to beastykato's topic in General Nursing

    4 years for a medical degree but then another 3-7 years of residency after that making a total of at least 7 more years. 3.4 isn't high enough to make it into med school unless you have a stellar MCAT...

  23. Nursing after pre-med coursework?

    msn10 replied to beastykato's topic in General Nursing
